Figure 1

Histological and ex vivo images. (A) Histological images (50×) of the atelectasis (AT) and peri-atelectasis (PeriAT) regions are exhibited. Note the alveolar hyperinflation of the surrounding alveoli. (B) Ex vivo image of the lungs exhibiting the AT, PeriAT, and the control regions of interest. (C) Histological image of the contralateral lung (control region) of the same animal is exhibited. Note the difference in surface area of alveoli when compared with the PeriAT region.
